Sodawaterwala agiary celebrates 150th anniversary

The day is observed on the Fravahar Roj, or day of the Faravahar Mah or month. The agiary was founded on this day by the Amaria family.

Anahita Desai, trustee of the agiary who is also a trustee in the Bombay Parsi Punchayet, said there have been no representatives of the Amaria family in the trust for decades. "Not much is known about them, but they must have been in the business of manufacturing soda water. Everybody knows the agiary by the name, Sodawaterwala," said Desai.
